Chapter 71 Worries

 Gu Zhong saw that his elder sister and younger brother were all following the second child. What could he do? It was always better for the brothers to be together than to go home alone. He was the only strong laborer in his family, so he had no choice but to rely on his brothers and sisters.

 Gu Zhong nodded, "My family also follows the second child."

Boss Zhang also quickly expressed his position, "I also listen to Brother Gu. I will do whatever Brother Gu says."

The village chief sighed. He actually wanted to go back. He had heard from the elders how terrible the refugees were when they fled sixty years ago. They were so hungry that they would grab anything as long as they could eat.

  People are so hungry that they dare to eat.

 It is always safer at home than in the wild.

 He was silent for a long time and said, "Then make up your mind, Mr. Zhang."

When Gu Zhang saw everyone looking at him, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his body, so he had to say: "I still want to keep moving forward."

“If it’s just a drought this year, that’s okay, it’ll be over after a while, but if there’s going to be a severe drought next year and the year after, there will definitely be no one left in the family, so we have to leave.”

Uncle Ma pricked his ears. Will there be another drought next year and the year after that?

 Gu Zhang said so confidently, how did he know? Watching the sky at night?

"If we take a detour, it won't work. As each day passes, our life in Xiqin County will only become more and more difficult. Those who have food today may not have it tomorrow, and the number of refugees will only increase. "

 Everyone nodded, that’s right, taking a detour would waste time, and by then there would be even more refugees.

"I mean, we should still follow the previous route, but we have to think of a way."

Gu Zhang looked at Uncle Ma, "Uncle Ma, you were a bodyguard when you were young. Think about it, what should we do if we meet a homeless person? Should we also hire some people from the bodyguard agency?"

Uncle Ma shook his head, "I can't say whether to hire people or not, but in this situation, it's useless to hire less people. If you hire more people, the money will probably not be a small amount."

At this moment, Gu Fei suddenly said: "Dad, I think this is not the case."

“Let’s walk first. We will meet honest and reliable young adults on the way. We will allow them to have a good meal. The condition is that they will protect the convoy and go with it.”

 “If someone who is really hungry has enough food to eat, I think he will risk his life to protect him.”

“Besides, there are quite a few of us. If we encounter someone who robs something, if we all attack together, we will definitely be stronger than the refugees. Are we still afraid that we won’t win?”

Uncle Ma looked at Gu Fei, this girl is really extraordinary.

 Shouldn’t a country girl be so frightened when she hears such a thing? Just like Xing'er, who is hiding behind her mother and looking panic-stricken, she looks like a country girl now.

This girl Gu Fei actually dared to come up with an idea. Don’t tell me, the idea she came up with was still successful.

Gu Zhang thought for a long time and said, "This is also a way."

“It’s just that I’m worried that the people we picked up along the way may not be of the same mind as us. Their loyalty and honesty can’t be seen just by looking at their faces.”

“Therefore, if you want to hire this person, you can’t hire too many people. If there are too many, they might join forces and rob all the food.”
